Free set of Number Flash Cards!

Does your tot know his/her numbers yet?  I know when my little one was learning her numbers that she responded very well to flash cards.  Very well is putting it mildly too.  She used to walk around everywhere with them asking me over and over again "What's this mama"?  I loved her enthusiasm for wanting to learn.  Of course Eric Carle and Dr. Seuss helped tremendously.  Their flash cards were by far the cutest I have ever seen! 

FREE set of 5 digital Polaroids & Frames!

While the hubby was cleaning out the trunk of his car, he came across some old photos of when he was younger.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on them to be reminded of just how adorable he was.  As I was looking through them I was delighted to find some great Polaroids and bordered photographs in his collection.  They were distressed and discolored and I absolutely loved them!  I couldn't help myself, my brain immediately switched into art mode.  I chose my favorite Polaroids and bordered images and scanned them to my computer.  I opened them in Photoshop, made a few adjustments, and created digital templates.  I am so happy with how they turned out but even more excited to present this NEW set of Vintage Polaroids and Frames to all of you!  I hope you'll love them as much as I do!  Oh, and did I mention they are FREE?  That's right.  So go ahead and download the entire set!  All I ask in return is, if used on your website, credit with a link back to my site would be absolutely fabulous and much appreciated!

Am I a horrible person for finding beauty in Boston?

I was in Boston on Saturday for a hair appointment.  It's not often I get into the city so it's easy to forget how beautiful it can be especially on a warm and sunny Spring day!  For the first time since last year, I got to sport my open toe sandals and pretty pedicured toes!  It was a good day.  A much needed "ME" day and I looked forward to the next two hours I would have to relax in a chair and have someone make me pretty!  With that said, I walked the streets of Boston with a smile on my face.  That is of course, until I got to Boylston Street.

Diane Von Furstenberg at The Gap (and my Spot the Differences game for Friday)!

I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on my Spot the Differences game and it’s been a great help!  THANK YOU to everyone who has been participating and leaving comments!  For today’s game, there are eight differences (instead of 7) so I hope you are up for the challenge!  Going forward, I will be displaying the images side by side to keep you from having to scroll up and down a million times.  I think this will also make it easier to identify the differences.  Of course, now they are side by side, you will notice I had to make the images smaller to fit the width of my posting area.  With that said, I highly recommend using the link that will open a new window for you to view at it’s original (much LARGER) size. If it becomes too large for your screen, just go to VIEW on your toolbar at the top of your web browser screen and zoom out!  This should do the trick.

Wordless, who me?

Not completely wordless, but close. 

Looking over at my little one makes me think of how great it is to be a kid.  When all it takes are little things like a pink hat or animal print sneakers to make you smile, to make you happy, to make you love life!  There is no confusion, fuss, chaos, stress, worry, responsibility.  Just SIMPLICITY!  I wish it could always be like this for her. 

How to increase your blog traffic and make new friends!

Hope you don’t mind if I get right down to the nitty gritty!  Feel free to grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and make yourself comfortable.  I have some good tips for you today!

INCREASE YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC WITH THESE 11 TIPS

1. LINK UP TO BLOG HOPS but participate with CAUTION!  Before you move on, please read Blog Hops and Facebook (have you read Facebook’s terms)?  I can’t stress this one enough!  They are the best tool out there for bloggers to meet new people with similar interests.  Most blog hops require you to follow the hosts and co-hosts, then you’re on your own.  You are able to follow the sites you like and in return they’ll follow you back.  It’s that simple!  It’s a great way to drive traffic to your blog, increase your following and social media contacts.  Feel free to visit my Link Ups Page for a list of active Blog Hops!
